WHO AM I?

Hi, I’m Tanja, your mobility mentor, and I’m here to help you when you’re moving to a new country. I specialize in intercultural communication, which means that my coaching approach goes deeper than just giving practical guidance on how to find accommodation and open a bank account. My coaching focuses on understanding the nuances of cultural differences, adapting to new social norms, and effectively communicating in a diverse environment.

MY BACKGROUND

I am an internationally certified working style expert and communication style trainer. I hold an MBA in Leadership and People Management and have also completed studies in Organizational Psychology. With my extensive experience, I have been coaching executives and teams from around the world, including those from internationally known cosmetics brands, non-profit organizations, and expats seeking help in understanding different cultures.

Having lived in seven different countries (Finland, Mexico, France, Australia, Argentina, Malta and Spain), I know moving can be both exciting and challenging. I’ve relocated alone, as a spouse, and as a mom of a young child, so I understand how each move can feel different depending on where you are in life.

HOW CAN I HELP?

Adjusting to a new culture and unfamiliar surroundings can be overwhelming, but that’s where I come in. I’m here to guide you every step of the way, helping you adapt and minimize culture shock.

As a coach, I have been praised for my energetic coaching style that inspires my clients to take action, transform challenges into opportunities, and grow both professionally and personally. Together, we’ll set clear goals and action steps to make the most of your new life abroad. Whether it’s adapting your leadership skills, tackling anxieties about cultural differences, or finding a community, I’ve got you covered.

I speak English, Spanish and Finnish and specialize in the cultures of Mexico and the Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.)
